The husband-wife team of Jason Jones and Samantha Bee, longtime correspondents on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," executive produce a comedy series inspired by their own experiences with family vacations. Jones stars as Nate Parker, who plans an adventure of a lifetime -- a road trip to Florida -- with wife Robin and their young kids, rebellious daughter Delilah and simpleton son Jared. Packed in cramped quarters, the 1,300-mile journey soon detours into disastrous territory as the family encounters one hellish turn after another. Subsequent seasons see the Parkers make detours to New York City and Alaska, among other adventures.

... A unique verbal and physical comedy for adults with enviable comedic timing in the most lucid of moments. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 02/22/2017

Like any good road trip, a glint of insanity in the driver's eye makes things all the more interesting. We may not be overly concerned with where they end up, but whatever Jones and Bee want to throw at this resilient group is fine by us. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Vox 02/21/2017
That kind of dissonance between classic family hijinks and twisted debauchery is exactly what makes The Detour such a fantastic ride. And if there are bumps along the way ... well, that's all part of the journey. Go to Full Review Josh Sorokach Decider 07/09/2019
The Detour hits many of the traditional family sitcom beats, but [Jason] Jones and [Samantha] Bee provide a subversive new shine to old familiar tropes. Go to Full Review Lara Zarum Flavorwire 03/09/2017
Unapologetically raunchy and delightfully weird, 'The Detour' broadcasts a fun-house version of domestic bliss. Go to Full Review Mitchel Broussard We Got This Covered 02/16/2017
7/10
The Detour's edge is dulled slightly in a second season that's too dependent on the show's trademark shameless and shocking humor, but make no mistake - this is high-quality, brilliant lunacy that works far more often than not. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/12/2020 This made me laugh out loud even more than the first season. The plot continues to leave me on the edge of my seat. For a comedy, this had me excited for the next turn. I really was not able to predict the ending. Jason Jones has made a spectacular, mind bending, and hilariously ridiculous adventure disguised as a sitcom. See more 07/28/2019 I loved season 1. Is season 2 even the same show?! Any redeeming qualities the parents had are blown out of the water. I don't even care what happens to them. See more 04/26/2017 Admittedly a few laughable moments but overall pretentious. On many occasions tries to go for that over the top laugh but fails and ends up being just plain annoying. See more 04/10/2017 I was worried about where the story line would go from the end of season 1, but it does not dissapoint. Such good writing and the cast really pulls it off. See more 05/29/2016 LOVED THIS SHOW!!! Yes it's completely inappropriate and politically incorrect, but my husband and I laughed our butts off from the first stupid episode on. I got my 22yr old son and his college friends hooked. Now they're watching every week. So glad it got picked up for a second season! See more Read all reviews
